Can this fan be run on its side and can I use it in a bathroom

Generally speaking most heaters are supposed to have a tipover safety cutoff circuit in them so no, don't expect to be able to use it or ANY UL listed/safely designed portable heater on its side, although some may not be as safely designed as others so you could get away with it.

I wouldn't use it on its side. Yes, probably ok in a bathroom if turned off when you're not around.

It is a square box so why would you turn it on its side? As silly as it may seem, I guess it can be run on its side but don't know the longer term consequences and I'm sure Crane will advise against it. Use in a bathroom is not different than use in a bedroom so long as you don't stick in a tub of water. Please don't construe my comments as warranty or confirmation.

Hi. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to place it on its side. I have two of them and I have one in a very steamy bathroom every day and it actually helps keep the area dry.

When using it in a bathroom, keep a door open when showering. If a lot of water collects on the bathroom surfaces, that would be very bad for the heater's (any heater) longevity & could pose a potential danger to you.

Gary, My concern would be having the fan exposed to moisture. If you live in a dry area this may not be a problem. I live in Florida so it probably is not a good idea here. Mine is installed in my living room.

You can do a flush mount. We mounted the fan in our bathroom. Eight foot ceiling and a standard door opens under the fan. Supposedly a down rod would increase air flow, but we did not have that option. The fan did help our humidity problem in a tight shower area.

You can but I will not advice it. The desktop has air vents at the top portion which provides cooling in the unit. If you place it on the side, you limit cooling the desktop because you will hinder air circulation.

I would not suggest it. This unit needs full airflow all around it. I have mine in a cabinet space with ample air circulation, but it died after a year. You need to find one that is actually "under counter installation" approved.

I have it in three bathrooms on three fans. Over a year now with one bathroom fan getting daily use. My certified electrician installed (I purchased) and he made no comments about potential problems. It works well for me!

There is a delay timer built into the fan so once you turn the switch off the fan will run (anywhere from 30 sec to 60 mins which ever you set it too) if you want to run the fan on a timer you could do so just install the timer make sure it's made for low voltage (because the switch for the fan is low voltage if install properly) and and set the delay on the fan to zero. Personally I'd prefer the use of the built in fan timer because no matter how long you use the bathroom the fan will remain on for a set time after you leave which is ideal for moisture control

Yes it can. I have used it to do that in my main bathroom. It does tend to overheat, but other then that it is great. Its light weight makes it easy on the arms as well.

The fan should run when the unit is on. Contact the manufacture for specific operation questions.

Yes you sure can! That is why I chose this fan because it adjusted in both directions.

This fan as well as any Panasonic ceiling mounted bath fan are suitable for use in a damp enviroment (in a shower) as long as the fan is connected to the load side of a GFCI receptacle or a GFCI circuit breaker but not a screw in fuse it cartridge fuse. Any questions consult a qualified licensed electrician to be safe.

Mine is installed in my bathroom right out side the shower and was recommended to me specifically for the bathroom. I am very happy with the performance of my unit in our fairly large airy bathroom. I don't recall any warnings about moisture from shower/bath, but I do have a 340 CFM exhaust fan so moisture really isn't an issue in my Bath. My wife loves it and frankly that's what matters, ya know..Happy wife, happy life!.

Yes, you can use it in a bathroom. You just need to pay attention in the size because it isn't too small

The unit has brackets on the top but you will need bolts to secure it to the ceiling. As for running the fan only, the unit is not designed for that purpose.Thanks,SHurail HVAC 952-884-8266

Yes, it can be. I have 2 in the bathroom. One is mounted directly in the shower. When you mount it directly in the shower you need to put it on a GFI circuit as recommend by the mfg or install a GFI circuit breaker to cover everything on the circuit if you don't want to wire it separately.

I WOULD RECOMMEND CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER TO ENSURE THAT THE FAN COULD BE SAFELY OPERATED ON ITS SIDE. It appears to be designed to be used standing up (vertically). There's a vent that wraps around the back and from side to side.

It could be used anywhere, providing you have sufficient head room. I wouldn't probably install this nice of a fan in that environment.
